Forex Master Pattern Screener 2Overview
The Forex Master Pattern Screener 2 is based on the Master Pattern, which includes contraction, expansion, and trend phases. This indicator is designed to identify and visualize market volatility, market phases, multi-timeframe contractions, liquidity points, and pivot calculations. It provides a clear image of the market's expansion and contraction phases. It's based on an alternative form of technical analysis that reveals the psychological patterns of financial markets through three phases.
Unlike the other master pattern indicators that just use highs and lows and aren't as accurate for finding contractions, this one uses actual measures of volatility to find extremely low levels of volatility and has customizable parameters depending on what you want to do.
What is the Forex Master Pattern?
The Forex Master Pattern is a framework that revolves around understanding market cycles, comprising the three main phases: contraction, expansion, and trend.
Contraction Phase: During this phase, the market has low volatility and is consolidating within a narrow range. Institutional volume tends to be low, and it's suggested to avoid trade entries during this period.
Expansion Phase: Volatility starts to increase, and there start to be bigger moves in price. Institutional traders start accumulating positions in this phase, and they might manipulate prices to draw in retail traders, creating liquidity for their own buying or selling goals.
Trend Phase: This final phase completes the market cycle. Institutional traders begin taking profits, leading to a reversal. This triggers panic among retail traders, resulting in liquidations and stops. This generates liquidity for institutional traders to profit, leaving retail traders with overvalued positions.
Value Line:
The "value line" acts as the fair value zone or the neutral belief zone where buyers and sellers agree on fair value. It can be likened to the center of gravity and is created during contraction zones.
Applications:
Identifying these phases and understanding the value lines can help traders determine the market's general direction and make better trading decisions.
This isn't a strategy but a concept explaining market behavior, allowing traders to develop various strategies based on these principles
The contractions, which are based on volatility calculations, can help you find out when big moves will occur, known as expansions.
How traders can use this indicator
1. Identifying Market Phases:
Contraction Phase: Look for periods where the market has low volatility and is contracting, indicated by a narrow range and highlighted by the contraction box. During this phase, traders prepare for a breakout but usually avoid making new trades until a clearer trend emerges.
Expansion Phase: When the indicator signals an expansion, it suggests that the market is moving out of consolidation and may be beginning a new trend. Traders might look for entry points here, anticipating a continuation of the trend.
Trend Phase: As the market enters this phase, traders look for signs of sustained movement in one direction and consider positions that benefit from this trend.
2. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
By looking at multiple timeframes, traders can get a broader view of the market. For instance, a contraction phase in a shorter timeframe within an expansion phase in a longer timeframe might suggest a pullback in an overall uptrend. This indicator comes with a MTF contraction screener that is customizable.
2. Fair Value Lines:
The fair value acts like a "center of gravity.". Traders could use this as a reference point for understanding market sentiment and potential reversal points. This indicator shows these values in the middle of the contraction boxes.
3. Volatility Analysis:
This indicator's volatility settings can help traders understand the market's current volatility state. High volatility indicates a more active market with larger, faster moves, while low volatility might suggest caution and tighter stop-losses or take-profits. If volatility is contracting, then an expansion is imminent. This indicator shows the volatility with percentile ranks in 0-100 values and also alerts you when volatility is contracting, aka the contraction phase.
Volatility Calculations:
This indicator uses a geometric standard deviation to measure volatility based on historical price data. This metric quantifies the variability of price changes over a specified lookback period and then computes a percentile rank within a defined sample period. This percentile calculation helps evaluate the current volatility compared to historical levels.
Based on the percentile rank, the indicator sets thresholds to determine whether the current volatility is within a range considered "contraction" or not. For example, if there are really low levels of volatility on the percentile rank, then there is currently a contraction phase. The indicator also compares the volatility value against a moving average, where values above the current moving average value signal the expansion phase.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF):
This indicator comes with a multi-timeframe table that shows contractions for 5 different timeframes, and the table is customizable.
Bands:
This indicator comes with bands that are constructed based on the statistical calculations of the standard deviation applied to the log-transformed closing prices. It is commonly assumed that the distribution of prices fits some type of right-skewed distribution. To remove most of the skewness, you can use a log transformation , which makes the distribution more symmetrical and easier to analyze, thus the use of these bands . These bands are in the 2 standard deviation range. You can use these bands to trade at extreme levels. The band parameter is based on the contraction volatility lookback, which is in the Volatility Model Settings tab.
Ways the bands could be used with the contractions:
1. Identifying Breakout trades:
Contraction Zones: These zones indicate periods of low volatility where the market is consolidating. There are usually narrow price ranges, which are considered a build-up phase before a significant price move in any direction.
Bands: When the contraction zone occurs, you might notice the bands tightening around the price on smaller lookback periods, reflecting the decreased volatility. A continuous widening of the bands could then signal the beginning of an expansion phase, indicating a potential breakout opportunity.
2. Enhancing Trade Timing:
Before the Breakout: During the contraction phase, the bands might move closer together, reflecting the lower volatility. You can monitor this phase closely and prepare for a potential expansion. The bands can provide additional confirmation; for instance, a price move toward one of the bands might show an extreme occurrence and might show what the direction of the breakout could be.
After the breakout: Once the price breaks out of the contraction zone and goes to the expansion phase, and if it coincides with the bands widening significantly, it could reinforce the strength and potential sustainability of the new trend, providing a clearer entry.
3. Price-touching bands during a contraction:
If the price repeatedly touches one of the bands during a contraction phase, it might suggest a buildup of pressure in that direction. For example, if the price is consistently touching the upper band even though the bands are narrow, it might suggest bullish pressure that could occur once the expansion phase begin.
4. Price at the band extreme levels during Expansion:
If the price is at the extreme levels of the bands once the expansion phase occurs, it might indicate unsustainable levels and a low probability of the price continuing beyond those levels. Potentially signaling that a reversal will occur. Some trades could use these extremes to place entries during the expansion phases.
Liquidity Levels:
This script comes with liquidity points, whose functionality goes towards identifying pivotal levels in price action, focusing on swing highs and swing lows in the market. These points represent areas where significant buying (for swing lows) or selling (for swing highs) activity has occurred, implying potential levels or resistance in the price movement.
These liquidity points, often identified as highs and lows, are points where market participants have shown interest in the past. These levels can act as psychological indications where traders might place orders, leading to increased trading activity when these levels are approached or breached. When used with the Forex Master Pattern phases, liquidity levels can enhance trades placed with this indicator. For instance, if the market is expanding and approaches a significant liquidity level, there might be a higher chance of a breakout or reversal, showing a possible entry or exit point.
Liquidity Levels in the Contraction Phase:
Accumulation and Distribution: During the contraction phase, liquidity levels can indicate where huge positions are likely accumulating or distributing quietly. If price is near a known liquidity level and in a contraction phase, it might suggest that a large market player is building a position in anticipation of the next move.
Breakout Points: Liquidity levels can also give clues about where price could go after the breakout from the contraction phase. A break above a liquidity level might indicate a strong move to come as the market overcomes significant selling pressure.
Liquidity Levels in Expansion Phase:
Direct Confirmation: As the expansion phase begins, breaking through liquidity levels can confirm the new trend's direction. If the price moves past these levels with huge volume, it might indicate that the market has enough momentum to continue the trend.
Target Areas: Liquidity levels can act as target areas during the expansion phase. Traders using this indicator could look to take profits if the price approaches these levels, possibly expecting a reaction from the market.

Imbalance indicator (Multi-TimeFrame)(USA) Imbalance Indicator (Multi-TimeFrame) is an indicator designed to visualize the imbalance between two adjacent candles on a chart by drawing rectangles. It helps identify the dominance of buyers or sellers during the price's impulsive movement in an uptrend or downtrend.
Here's how the indicator works:
It determines the trend direction (up or down) based on the closing prices of the last three candles. An uptrend is identified if all three candles closed above their openings, and a downtrend if they closed below.
Depending on the trend direction, the indicator calculates the imbalance between candles. The imbalance is expressed as the difference between the low of the next candle and the high of the previous candle for an uptrend or the low of the previous candle and the high of the next candle for a downtrend. The imbalance value should be greater than 0.
When an imbalance is detected, the indicator draws a rectangle on the chart. The rectangle starts at the candle with the detected imbalance, the upper border is at the top of the imbalance, and the lower border is at the bottom of the imbalance.
The color of the rectangle depends on the trend direction: green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend.
The rectangle continues dynamically to the right until it is intersected by the next candles by 50% or more (by default). The intersection can occur in various combinations (shadow, body, or shadow + body of the candle). Once this happens, the rectangle ends on the last overlapping candle. The height overlap percentage is adjustable in the range of 1 to 100, with a default value of 50%.
Use the Imbalance Indicator to identify potential price reversal zones. Algorithms aim to cover the imbalance and trade the range in which it formed, representing a potential magnet for the price.
In the multi-timeframe version of the indicator, along with the current timeframe, rectangles from timeframes: 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 1 day are displayed by default (and can be adjusted in settings). Other timeframes (e.g., 1 week and 1 month or 30 minutes) can be selected in the settings.
You can activate/deactivate the display of imbalances from different timeframes of your choice by setting the corresponding checkbox.
Additionally, rectangles from different timeframes have different default levels of transparency, decreasing with increasing timeframe.
Frames on additional timeframes are disabled by default in transparency settings; adjust as needed in color settings.
Like in the previous version, you can customize the color scheme of rectangles for each timeframe individually.
Information display about timeframes other than the current one on imbalances is available and can be disabled in settings for each timeframe individually.
For your convenience, in the buyers' interest zone, a label is placed at 50% of the rectangle's width, spanning 3 candles. Now you can set a limit order right at the label without relying on Fibonacci retracements.
(RUS) Imbalance indicator (Multi-TimeFrame) - это индикатор, предназначенный для визуализации имбаланса между двумя соседними свечами на графике путем рисования прямоугольников. Он помогает определить доминирование покупателей или продавцов во время импульсного движение цены на восходящем или нисходящем тренде.
Вот как работает индикатор:
Он определяет направление тренда (вверх или вниз) на основе закрытия последних трех свечей. Тренд вверх определяется, если все три свечи закрылись выше своих открытий, а тренд вниз - если ниже.
В зависимости от направления тренда, индикатор вычисляет имбаланс между свечами. Имбаланс выражается в виде разницы между низом следующей свечи и верхом предыдущей свечи для восходящего тренда или между низом предыдущей свечи и верхом следующей свечи для нисходящего тренда. Значение имбаланса должно быть больше 0.
Если имбаланс обнаружен, индикатор рисует прямоугольник на графике. Прямоугольник начинается на свече с найденным имбалансом, верхняя граница прямоугольника находится на верхней границе имбаланса, а нижняя граница - на нижней границе имбаланса.
Цвет прямоугольника зависит от направления тренда: зеленый для восходящего тренда и красный для нисходящего тренда.
Прямоугольник продолжается вправо динамически, пока его не пересекут следующие свечи на 50% или более (по умолчанию). Пересечение может произойти различными комбинациями (тень, тело или тень + тело свечи). Как только это происходит, прямоугольник заканчивается на последней перекрывающей его свече. Процент перекрытия по высоте настраивается в интервале от 1 до 100, по умолчанию значение 50%.
Используйте Imbalance Indicator для определения зон вероятного возврата цены. Алгоритмы стремятся перекрыть имбаланс и проторговать диапазон, в котором он образовался, это потенциальный магнит для цены.
В мульти-таймфреймной версии индикатора, наряду с текущим таймфреймом, при первом запуске (и до момента, пока вы не измените это в настройках), отображаются прямоугольники с таймфреймов:
15 минут,
1 час,
4 часа,
1 день.
При этом другие таймфреймы (например 1 неделя и 1 месяц или 30 минут) можно выбрать в настройках.
Вы можете активировать/деактивировать отображение имбалансов с разных таймфреймов по вашему выбору, установив соответствующую галочку.
Кроме того, прямоугольники с разных таймфреймов по умолчанию имеют различную степень прозрачности, которая уменьшается по мере увеличения таймфрейма
Рамки на дополнительных таймфреймах, по умолчанию отключены настройками прозрачности, при необходимости измените это в настройках цвета.
Как и в предыдущей версии, вы можете настраивать под себя цветовую схему прямоугольников, причём для каждого таймфрейма в отдельности.
На имбалансах с отличных от текущего таймфреймов, доступно отображение информации о таймфрейме, данная опция отключается в настройках для каждого таймфрейма в отдельности.
Для вашего удобства, в зоне интереса покупателей, на 50% прямоугольника сделана метка шириною в 3 свечи, теперь не нужно натигивать фибо, можете сразу выставить лимитку по метке.
Demand and Supply Zones Pro [Afnan]Are you looking to level up your trading game and spot potential turning points in the stock market? Introducing the Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify opportunities created by the Smart money.
The Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator is built upon the principles of Rally Base Rally (RBR), Rally Base Drop (RBD), Drop Base Rally (DBR), Drop Base Drop (DBD).
🔍 Key Details 🔍
The "Smart Money" concept refers to large institutional investors and professional traders who possess significant financial resources and expertise. The importance of smart money lies in their influence on market trends and price movements. Their actions and positions often serve as signals for retail traders and investors to make informed decisions.
Formation of Smart Money: Smart money is attracted to areas in the market where they can find favourable risk-to-reward opportunities.
1. Rally Base Rally (RBR) Zones: These zones occur after a rally (upward price movement), followed by a period of consolidation (base formation), and then another rally. Smart money often forms positions here as it suggests a strong uptrend continuation.
2. Rally Base Drop (RBD) Zones: In this case, there is a rally, followed by a base formation, but instead of another rally, the price drops. Smart money may position themselves here in anticipation of a potential trend reversal.
3. Drop Base Rally (DBR) Zones: These zones form when there is a drop in price, followed by a base formation, and then a rally. Smart money may take positions here, expecting a trend reversal to the upside.
4. Drop Base Drop (DBD) Zones: In this scenario, the price drops, then forms a base, but subsequently continues to drop. Smart money might take bearish positions here, anticipating further downward movement.
🚀 Pending Orders from Smart Money Zones: 🚀
When the price approaches these smart money zones, institutional investors often place remaining pending orders to enter the market.
By identifying RBR/DBR zones as potential buying opportunities and RBD/DBD zones as potential selling opportunities on price charts, retail traders can align their trades with smart money activities. Implementing proper risk management and confirming signals enhances the likelihood of successful trades by following the footsteps of institutional investors.

💎 Employing a Top-Down Approach and Multiple Time Frame Analysis: 💎
Let's delve into the concept of adopting a top-down approach combined with multiple time frame analysis in trading scenarios. It is consistently recommended to trade with the trend because, as the saying goes, "the trend is your friend." If you identify a demand zone on the chart but the overall trend is downward, it's crucial to confirm the stock's trend in higher timeframes. Avoid purchasing from the demand zone in such a scenario as you would be going against the trend. To consider buying from the demand zone, ensure that the overall trend is upward by checking the higher timeframe.
Similarly, if the higher timeframe trend is upward but the price is approaching a higher timeframe supply zone, refrain from buying in the lower timeframe. If the price reaches a higher timeframe supply zone, there is a likelihood that the price will face rejection from this zone.
If the price is significantly extended from the EMA 20 on a higher timeframe, for instance, if you plan to trade on a 30-minute timeframe and the price is considerably extended from the daily EMA 20, consider trading from zones that are closer to the daily EMA 20. When the price is extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20, it implies that the price is expensive, and there may be a tendency for it to return to the EMA 20. Therefore, it is advisable to trade from zones that are closer to the higher timeframe EMA 20 and avoid zones that are extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20.
For instance, imagine you're considering purchasing a stock that has reached a demand zone known as Rally Base Rally (RBR). If you identify a corresponding demand zone in a higher time frame located at the same position, and concurrently observe that the intermediate time frame indicates an upward trend, your potential for a successful trade is enhanced.
Conversely, if you spot a buying zone in a lower time frame, but notice a supply zone in the higher time frame at that exact position, the likelihood of a profitable trade decreases significantly. In such cases, it's prudent to steer clear of the lower time frame zone. This emphasizes the critical significance of employing a top-down approach or conducting a multiple time frame analysis.
Note: By Doing top down approach you can easily follow the footprints of smart money in the stock market or any other market by using this indicator and make well-informed trading decisions.
Remember, don't make decisions based only on one time frame. Check the overall trend of the stock and look at buying and selling points on bigger time scales. If you only use one time scale, your chances of making successful trades will be lower.
💎 To execute these comprehensive analyses and optimize your trading outcomes, you can make use of my indicator called "Demand & Supply Zone Scoring: Rally Base & Drop Concept."💎
This indicator is thoughtfully crafted to assess the strength of trade setups based on demand and supply zones through a scoring mechanism. It serves as your guide for correct top-down and multiple time frame analysis, eliminating the possibility of overlooking any strategic parameters. To gain deeper insights, you can learn more about how to use this indicator in its description.

Market Structure (Breakers) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure (Breakers) indicator aims to detect "Breaker Market Structures", an original concept inspired by breaker blocks, and extend on the original concept of market structures by extending existing MS levels, providing supports/resistances as a result.
Various graphical elements are included that highlight the interactions between price and Breaker structures.
🔶 USAGE
Breaker structures occur when a market structure is confirmed (price breaking a previous swing level). The broken swing point is extended by a dotted line which can be used as potential support or resistance.
After a market structure, the price can eventually reverse and break one or multiple breaker structures at the same time, allowing for the detection of new trends in the price.
A market structure closer to the top/bottom of a trend can return Breaker structures breakouts more indicative of potential reversals.
Breakers MS breakouts can also be useful as exits for entries done using market market structures.
The script additionally highlights support/resistance events by highlighting candle borders, with a border using a green color indicating support events while a red color is indicative of a resistance event.
🔹 Breaker Structure Lifespan
The "lifespan" of Breaker structures, that is the amount of time the script will extend/evaluate them is determined by various user settings.
The Maximum Breaks setting determines the maximum amount of breaks a breaker structure can withstand before it is broken.
For example, a maximum amount of breaks of 3 for a bearish breaker structure would require the price to cross under that precise breaker structure level three times. Using higher values of this setting will also highlight more Breakers MS.
The Breaker Maximum Duration setting on the other hand determines how many bars a breaker structure can be evaluated without being broken. If a breaker structure is not broken after this amount of bars then it will stop being evaluated and will be removed.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings Period: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer term markter structures.
Maximum Breaks: Amount of break required for a breaker block to be considered broken.
Breaker Maximum Duration: Maximum duration of a breaker block (in bars).
itradesize /\ Previous HTF x OHLC Box
FYI: It is an invite-only script, if you are interested in, please scroll down to see the Author's instructions.
Introducing an indicator which inspired by ICT concepts that use a model, based on what TTrades teaches in some of his DOL videos about how to get a proper bias.
Having a daily bias can be frustrating and this script could make it easy for you besides creating a ton of opportunities for scalpers as well as not only helpful for a daily bias, it can also help you to determine the actual H4 or H1 bias or even lower.
Always keep in mind: the higher the timeframe you use, the more accurate it can be.
You can use OHLC to determine the current or higher time frame bias as it can be used on any of them and properly gain a sentiment of a drawn of liquidity.
This model integrates the previous candle's open, high, low, and close values (or open, low, high close) in addition to their equilibrium to make it easier to identify where the price should go moreover they can be used as reference points for potential trading opportunities.
The 50% also known as equilibrium creates premium and discount zones within the previous candles. Using the former higher timeframe candle’s OHLC you can simply have an external range of liquidity and where the current price should it drawn to.
With this tool, you can achieve a proper trading framework as you can easily recognize the external & internal range of liquidity, so whether you are a scalper or a day trader you are able to rely on the indicator.
A bit of a candlestick analysis:
When the price wicks below means a potential bullish reversal is incoming.
When the price wicks above, then it means a potential bearish reversal is happening.
Closing below means lower prices. (Bearish trend)
Closing above means higher prices. (Bullish trend)
This indicator is an absolute monster for the OHLC guys.
How to use it?
- Analyse the trend on the higher timeframe, bullish trend is when the price continuously takes the previous candle’s high over and over again. Bearish trend is the total opposite.
- Wait for external liquidity to be taken.
- When it's happening there should be a displacement back to the range with an actual structure shift.
- Looking for an imbalance in the displacement.
- Aiming for an imbalance that is above 50% of the former move.
- Aggressive stop: below or above the candle which has an imbalance
- Conservative stop: below or above the former swing

OrderBlock_TradingHubAn order block refers to a specific area on chart that represents a significant level of support or resistance where institutional traders have placed large orders. By identifying order blocks, traders can gain insights into the intentions and actions of the smart money participants.
Typically, the order block is represented by the last bullish (bearish) candle before a downtrend (uptrend) initiate. Whereas this indicator is quite different from the existing order block detection tools. It categorizes order blocks into different types (Main order blocks, Unmitigated shadow order blocks and Single candle order blocks), checking the following criteria based on TradingHUB-3 technical method:
1) Take out liquidity
2) Cause imbalance
3) Not to be inside-bar
How it works:
This indicator identifies 3 types of order blocks through the following procedure:
1) Main Order Blocks (Extreme, Decisional, and SMT(smart money trap)):
• Check that the candle is not inside bar.
• Check that the candle has taken out the liquidity beyond the previous candle's high/low.
• Check that the candle has created an imbalance (FVG) after; if not: the order block will be transferred to the first following candle that created imbalance. We check up to three following candles to find any imbalance.
2) Unmitigated Shadow Order Blocks:
• Check that the candle has taken out the liquidity beyond the previous candle's high/low.
• Check that the price has not touched the shadow so far.
3) Single Candle Order Blocks (SCOB):
• Check that the candle is not inside bar.
• Check that the candle has taken out the liquidity beyond the previous candle's high/low.
• Check confirmation:
- If the candle is closed higher/lower than the previous candle high/low, it is confirmed as a SCOB; otherwise:
- Move forward up to a specified number (determined by the user) to find a confirmation candle. A confirmation is a candle that closed higher/lower than the SCOB and its following candles high/low. The SCOB's following candles, and the confirmation candle should not take out the SCOB's liquidity again.
How to use it:
• This indicator can be used in all time frames.
• If the liquidity is taken out in an uptrend (downtrend) market structure, when the price meets the order blocks, we can go to lower timeframes and look for a trigger to enter the long (short) trade.
• It is essential for smart money traders to diagnose the market structure accurately. The "Structure_TradingHub " indicator is recommended for its ability to analyze the market structure effectively.
Indicator options:
• Show/Hide mitigated order Blocks: By this option, the user can choose whether to delete the touched order blocks or trimmed them.
• Show/Hide the unmitigated shadows. They are displayed by dashed lines.
• Show/Hide single candle order blocks: They are displayed by two lines placed above and below the candle.
• Changing the color and style of uptrend and downtrend order blocks.
Structure_TradingHubThe smart money concept suggests that institutional traders have a greater understanding of the market and often have access to more information than retail traders. Therefore, by analyzing market structure, retail traders can align themselves with the actions of smart money and potentially profit from their moves.
This indicator considerably simplifies the process of identification of market structure for traders based on the TradingHUB-3 technical method. Therefore, it is quite different from the existing market structure or trend detection tools, even the other smart-money-based indicators.
How it works:
The indicator starts candlestick analysis from the given start point detecting followings items.
1) Identify valid pullbacks (minor Zigzag):
Uptrend: In the upward trend, each candle that hits a higher high (HH), acts as our checking candle, and if the next candle hits its low, a valid pullback is formed, and we marked the checking candle as the end of a minor leg. Note that we do not take inside bars into account. If the highest point of the leg hit, the lowest point is marked as the end of pullback leg. On the other hand, if the lowest point of the upward leg is hit, the pullback checking procedure is restarted as a downtrend. Note that the downward checking is restarted from the highest point (previous checking candle).
Downtrend: The pullback detection for downtrend follows the reverse procedure of uptrend.
2) Identify inducements (IDM)
The last pullback point (on the minor zigzag) considers as the inducement level. In the uptrend, if the price hit the IDM, the highest point on the major leg is accepted as a major higher high. Note, if the IDM point is equal to a major HL and hit by price, the highest point is accepted as a new HH and the previous HH and LL are deleted (i.e. the HH is transferred).
In the downtrend, it acts conversely.
3) Identify valid break of structures (BOS)
In the uptrend, if the price closed above the highest point between the previous accepted HH to the current candle, a BOS is accrued, and the lowest point in this time interval is accepted as a higher low (HL). In the downtrend, it acts contrariwise.
4) Identify valid change of characters (Choch)
In the uptrend, if the price closed below the lowest point between the previous accepted HL to the current candle, a Choch is accrued, and the major trend changes from uptrend to downtrend, and a new reverse IDM will be detected. In the downtrend, it acts inversely.
5) Identify major HH/HL/LL/LH points
By following the above steps, the major higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, and lower lows, as well as the major trend are detected. The major high and lows on the major trend can be displayed by zigzag style or bullet points with corresponding up/down color.
How to use it:
This indicator works in any chart timeframe, and it does not need much tunning for use. Although, two parameters can be modified:
1- Starting Point:
Mode 1: Go back a certain number of candles in the past to find the starting point.
Mode 2: Use the last major swing that is higher/lower point between X candles right and left.
2- Choch/BOS min ticks' confirmation: The user can set an extra pipettes value that price should close higher/lower than the major H/L for more confirmation.
A trader can use this indicator for trading through the following steps (Of course, the trader is not restricted in these steps and can act according to its trading strategy):
1- Recognize the trend direction by seeing the H/L or zigzag color.
2- Identify the unmitigated IDM, which is marked by "X". When the inducement hit, the level is marked by "IDM", and a major H/L is confirmed.
3- Identify an order block to trade on it. We recommend users to add "OrderBlock_TradingHub " indicator to identify valid order blocks easily according to this technical method.
4- Go to the lower timeframe to find a trigger.
Indicator Options:
1) Set the starting point based on a certain number of candles or a major swing.
2) Show/Hide Pullbacks zigzag
3) Show/Hide Inducements (IDM)
4) Show/Hide Change of Characters (CHoCHs)
5) Show/Hide Break of Structures (BOS)
6) Draw up/down Trend
7) Draw H/L Points (by major Zigzag or Bullets)
8) Set CHoCH/BOS min pipettes for confirmation
9) Change the color and style of elements on the chart
World Class SMC [WinWorld]This indicator uses valid pullbacks in order to draw market structure with strict accordance to TradingHub strategy.
Features
Our indicator uses a number of price concepts, such as:
IDM
BoS & ChoCh ( also their sweeps )
Automatic resolving of ChoCh-IDM and IDM-BoS conflicts
Orderblocks (IDM, Extreme)
True Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
True PDH/PDL
SCOB pattern
One of the core features is the ability to choose a time point, from which the market structure will be drawn. This feature alone allows you to test your most desired hypotheses about the market movements within a few clicks, so no more guesses and "what if"s, because you get the opportunity to test everything yourself and right now.
Settings
Let's review the settings themselves:
Extended Structure: allows you to choose between drawing market structure for a whole timeline or from specific time point only;
Build OB by sweeps: allows you to only draw orderblocks from candle, which took liquidity from previous candle by sweep;
Structure colours & text: allows you to customise visuals representations of market structure elements on your chart;
Structure visuals: allows you to choose which elements of market structure you want / don't want to see on your chart;
Show trend: allows you to choose the way market structure trend will be displayed on your chart: divider or background colouring ;
Alerts for each and every event , whether it is a new BoS, ChoCh, orderblock and etc.
Usage Examples
IDM Orderblock ( OB-IDM )
Basic demonstration
When price reaches OB-IDM, you will be able to receive an alert. After that, check if the candle, that reached OB-IDM, closed inside or above ( bearish scenario )/ below ( bullish scenario ) OB-IDM's boundaries. If conditions above were met, go on LTF and look for an entry.
Extreme Orderblock ( OB-EXT )
Basic demonstration
Similar to OB-IDM situation: When price reaches OB-EXT, you will be able to receive an alert. After that, check if the candle, that reached OB-EXT, closed inside or above ( bearish scenario )/ below ( bullish scenario ) OB-EXT's boundaries. If conditions above were met, go on LTF and look for an entry.
Sweep PDH/PDL
Basic demonstration
* PDH — Previous Day High
* PDL — Previous Day Low
When you received PDH sweep alert and current trend is bearish, go on LTF to find entry point. ( bullish scenario: PDL sweep and current trend is bullish )
Sweep ChoCh
Basic demonstration
If you get alert of sweeped ChoCh, it usually means that price grabbed the liquidity from extremum points and is ready to continue going with the trend. Go on LTF to find an entry.
Session CandlesThis indicator is designed to visually represent different trading sessions on a price chart, highlighting candlestick colors to distinguish between bullish (upward movement) and bearish (downward movement) trends during various market sessions. Here's an overview of how the indicator works:
1. Session Definition: The indicator defines four distinct trading sessions:
- London Session: Typically covering the European trading hours.
- New York AM Session: Representing the morning hours of the New York trading session.
- New York PM Session: Representing the afternoon hours of the New York trading session.
- Asia Session: Encompassing the trading hours of the Asian markets.
2. Configuration Options: Users can customize the behavior of the indicator through input options. For each session, users can enable or disable the display of session-specific candles.
3. Candle Coloring: The indicator determines the color of candles based on the following criteria:
- For each session, it checks whether the current candle's closing price is higher than its opening price.
- If the closing price is higher, the candle is considered bullish, and a user-defined green color is used for the candle.
- If the closing price is lower, the candle is considered bearish, and a user-defined red color is applied.
4. Display: The indicator then applies the calculated candle colors to the respective candles of each trading session on the price chart. This visual distinction helps traders quickly identify the prevailing trend during different market sessions.
To use the indicator, traders can overlay it on their price charts in TradingView. By enabling or disabling specific trading sessions, they can focus on the trends and price movements during those specific time periods.
Please note that the actual appearance of the indicator on the chart depends on the user's chosen settings for session enablement and color preferences.
Smart Money Range [ChartPrime]The Smart Money Range indicator is designed to provide traders with a holistic view of market structure, emphasizing potential key support and resistance levels within a predefined range. This indicator is not just a visually pleasing, but also a comprehensive guide to understanding the market’s dynamics at a given level.
Key Features:
Defined Range: The indicator demarcates a clear range, highlighting support and resistance levels within it. This aids in identifying potential areas of buying and selling pressure. These are derived from highly significant areas that have been touched many times before.
Touches Counter: Underneath the support and resistance lines, there are numerical values that show the number of times price has interacted with these levels. This can provide insights into the strength or weakness of a particular level.
Zig-Zag Projections: Within the range, there's a zig-zag pattern indicating possible future touches, helping traders anticipate future price movements.
Double-Sided Profile: To the right of the range, a dual-profile is showcased. One side of the profile displays the volume traded at specific price levels, giving insights into where significant buying or selling has occurred. On the other side, it reflects the number of touches at that given price level, reinforcing the importance of particular price points.
Customizability: Users have the option to adjust the period setting, allowing them to cater the indicator to their specific trading style and configuration. Additionally, with volume levels settings, traders can adjust the number of bins in the profile for a tailored view.
SMC Structures and FVGThe SMC Structures and FVG indicator allows the user to easily identify trend continuations (Break Of Structure) or trend changes (CHange Of CHaracter) on any time frame. In addition, it display all FVG areas, whether they are bullish, bearish, or even mitigated.
Fair Value Gap :
The FVG process shows every bullish, bearish or even mitigated FVG liquidity area. When a FVG is fully mitigated it will directly be removed of the chart.
There is an history of FVG to show. By selecting specific number of FVG to show in the chart, the user can focus its analysis on lasts liquidity area.
Here's the rules for FVG color :
Green when it's a bullish FVG and has not been mitigated
Red when it's a bearish FVG and has not been mitigated
Gray when the bullish / bearish FVG has been mitigated
Removed when the FVG has been fully mitigated
Structures analysis:
The Structure process show BOS in grey lines and CHoCH in yellow lines. It shows to the user the lasts price action pattern.
The blue lines are the high value and the low value of the current structure.
Master Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Master Pattern indicator is derived from the framework proposed by Wyckoff and automatically displays major/minor patterns and their associated expansion lines on the chart.
Liquidity levels are also included and can be used as targets/stops. Note that the Liquidity levels are plotted retrospectively as they are based on pivots.
🔶 USAGE
The Master Pattern indicator detects contraction phases in the markets (characterized by a lower high and higher low). The resulting average from the latest swing high/low is used as expansion line. Price breaking the contraction range upwards highlights a bullish master pattern, while a break downward highlights a bearish master pattern.
During the expansion phase price can tend to be stationary around the expansion level. This phase is then often followed by the price significantly deviating from the expansion line, highlighting a markup phase.
Expansion lines can also be used as support/resistance levels.
🔹 Major/Minor Patterns
The script can classify patterns as major or minor patterns.
Major patterns occur when price breaks both the upper and lower extremity of a contraction range, with their contraction area highlighted with a border, while minor patterns have only a single extremity broken.
🔶 SETTINGS
Contraction Detection Lookback: Lookback used to detect the swing points used to detect the contraction range.
Liquidity Levels: Lookback for the swing points detection used as liquidity levels. Higher values return longer term liquidity levels.
Show Major Pattern: Display major patterns.
Show Minor Pattern: Display minor patterns.
Algo Targets [Premium]The Algo Targets indicator includes a suite of tools that attempt to identify market maker liquidity targets in advance.
These levels can be used by traders to determine:
1. future support/resistance
2. entries/exits
3. directional bias
4. potential reversal levels
5. pullback targets
The script uses a proprietary prediction model based on specific candle sequences, historical moves and volatility projections.
These tools have been live tested across a variety of instruments and timeframes, but should be backtested against your preferred ticker for best performance.
Primary Features:
1. Anchors
Anchors are derived from a simple, but powerful, three-candle breakout pattern. We have found that this pattern, when combined with the relative position to previous Anchor patterns on the chart, gives us clues to predicting future price structure.
Common use case: The simplest way to trade Anchors is to know that price *almost always* makes a return visit. This can be a useful tool for reversal traders. Additionally, Anchors often occur just before strong directional momentum. This can be useful for trend traders looking for entry signals.
Power User feature: Projected Ranges can be enabled in Settings. Each Anchor provides a Retracement leg (measured as the midpoint between the last two Anchors) and an Expansion leg (measured as twice the size of the Retracement leg, projected in the opposite direction). If Projected Ranges are enabled, the directional bias is also highlighted within the range, making it easy to spot at a glance.
Caveats: Expansion legs require patience and solid risk management. Additionally, the Expansion leg contains an additional Trigger level which price MUST cross before we consider the Expansion leg to be "in play" as a valid price target. This Trigger is marked on each Expansion legs as a dotted line.
Please note, Anchors require a 3 candle lookback before they are printed to the chart.
2. Target Zones
Target Zones are an advanced feature, and can be enabled in the Settings panel.
Each Target Zone consists of three levels:
Trigger — This the level closest to the current price. We expect it to act as a support/resistance level until price breaks through.
Target — This is the level farthest from the price. This is how far price is likely to move AFTER crossing the Trigger.
Midpoint — This is the level between the Trigger and Target. If price enters a Target Zone and wicks off of the Midpoint line, it’s usually a reversal signal. In this case we would cut our trade, consider the Target “filled” and potentially enter a reversal trade.
Common use case: When prices crosses a Trigger into a Target Zone, we consider that Target level to be “unlocked.” Our expectation is that price will gravitate toward the Target.
Power User feature: There are many strategies that a trader can build around Target Zones. One of our favorites is to use Targets strictly as reversal entries. On ranging days, price will often wick off of a Target level, before making a quick move in the opposite direction.
Caveats: After a Target is unlocked, it may be reached within the next few bars, or it may be saved by the market algorithms for later. Keep an eye on the Midpoint for potential reversals, and as always, proper risk management is key.
IMPORTANT: The presence of a Target Zone on the chart is neither bullish not bearish by itself. We consider the Target to be in play if, AND ONLY IF, price has crossed the Trigger level.
3. Pullback Levels
Pullback Levels are algorithmically detected return levels. They usually act as a strong draw on price, and often appear just before a pullback in price.
Common use case: The simplest way to use Pullbacks is to look for ones that have not been filled, either from a previous day or in after-hours/pre-market. We use them for confirmation bias along with Anchors and unlocked Targets.
Power User feature: For day trading, we set Alerts on our favorite tickers for any detected Pullbacks on the 5 min chart. This usually gives us plenty of time to review the chart for a possible day trade entry.
Settings:
All features are customizable, including color, line length and visibility. This lets you keep your chart as clean as you like, while only displaying additional data when it is needed.
Alerts:
Alerts can be set for all features, with the ability to set bearish and bullish alerts separately, depending on your trading preference. It is recommended to use "Once Per Bar Close" when you create an alert.
Liquidity Sweeps and RaidsThis basic script calculates and plots runs on liquidity levels through Raids and Sweeps. When the price violates the 3 fractal level, a raid or sweep occurs. You can use it to automate markup, understand liquidity levels, and reduce human error in your analysis. Additionally, you can set up an alarm to notify you when new sweeps or raids occur. Combine it with your current strategy or try any price action theory you prefer. Essentially, the price always seeks liquidity, so when some of it is taken, it makes sense to look for a reaction and potential reversal. Stay ahead by capitalizing on liquidity insights for potential reversals. Cheers, Cancamurria.
Market Structure CHoCH/BOS (Fractal) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure CHoCH/BOS (Fractal) indicator is an experimental take on classical market structure, whereas fractal patterns are used for their construction instead of swing points.
Compared to utilizing swing points for highlighting market structure like our Smart Money Concepts indicator , fractal-based market structure can appear as more adaptive, however, it can also be more restrictive when it comes to returning swing points which can cause the indicator to miss reversals in some cases.
If enabled from within the settings, users can see support and resistance levels returned from the detected market structure with breakouts highlighted on the chart. Alongside this feature, an additional dashboard showing the structure to fractal structure percentage is also provided.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Length of the fractal patterns to detect.
🔹 Style
Bullish Structures: Show bullish structures.
Bearish Structures: Show bullish structures.
Support: Show support levels.
Resistance: Show resistance levels.
🔹 Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Show structure to fractal percentage dashboard on the chart.
Location: Location of the dashboard on the chart.
Size: Dashboard size.
🔶 USAGE
Market structure is commonly used to determine trend direction by using price positions relative to prior swing points. Using fractal patterns to determine market structure can allow users to obtain shorter, more frequent structure labels.
Market structure is commonly classified as follows:
Change of Character (CHoCH), also referred to as Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Break of Structure (BOS), also referred to as Market Structure Break (MSB)
Change of Characters indicate a shift in the market trend, confirming trend reversals. Break of Structures on the other hand occur once a trend is already determined, confirming new higher highs/lower lows.
Using higher length values allow users to detect longer-term fractals, thus highlighting longer-term market structures. The image above detects fractal patterns made of 7 candles, even if the increment is only of 2 bars this significantly reduces the amount of detected market structure labels.
The result obtained by utilizing fractals and higher settings can be a more dynamic view of market structure, however, as seen in the image above this can introduce very significant delay compared to utilizing pure swing points.
🔹 Support/Resistance
The indicator also returns support/resistance levels constructed from the market structure, these levels are obtained similarly to order blocks, finding the minimum on the interval of a bullish market structure and the maximum of a bearish market structure.
Price reaching a support/resistance level can be expected to bounce from it. Once a level is broken, the support/resistance level will no longer extend, and a circle will be displayed highlighting the break.
While utilizing this script for fractal-based market structure, these levels can be useful to ensure all swing points are still considered by the user with the possibility of the indicator missing reversals due to its calculation not being based on swing points themselves.
🔹 Dashboard
The dashboard reports the structure to fractal percentage, that is the amount of bullish/bearish market structures relative to the total amount of detected bullish/bearish fractal patterns.
This allows us to see how often a detected fractal pattern is used to display a market structure.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Fractals
In the context of technical analysis, Fractals refer to specific patterns that exhibit self-similarity at different scales or timeframes.
The most commonly known fractal pattern consists of a consecutive sequence of candles (more commonly 5), with the central candle being the lowest (in case of a bullish fractal) or highest (in case of a bearish fractal).
A bullish fractal has candles on the right side of the central candle with increasing lows, while candles on the left side have decreasing lows.
A bearish fractal has candles on the right side of the central candle with decreasing highs, while candles on the left side have increasing highs.

SMC Toolkit |ASE|This indicator provides 10+ features all-in-one. Focusing on price action and Smart Money concepts, we have provided automated multi-timeframe features such as Market Structure(BOS / CHoCH) to identify trends, Fair Value Gaps to identify Imbalances, and much more.
Pure price action analysis is a preferred strategy over indicators due to their lag and noise. Many traders popularized SMC or “Smart Money” concepts to identify and trade like/with institutions or Smart Money traders. We have automated these features and made them multi-timeframe to simplify your charting process and advance your trading so you can efficiently trade.
Features:
The included price action features are listed below:
- Multi-Timeframe Market Structure (BOS, CHoCH, MSS, IDM)
- Trend based Candle Coloring
- Multichart (Extra time frame on the same chart)
- Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gaps & Balanced Price Ranges
- Trapped Market Participants (Multi-Time Frame based on Orderblocks)
- SMT Divergences
- Volume Imbalances
- Premium Discount Array
- Displacement Candles
- Previous OHLC (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
- VWAP and Std.Dev. Waves
Benefits & Examples:
In the image below we can see plenty of trade setups that formed in confluence with the features we were using. Displayed we have higher timeframe FVGs as our point of interests, Market Structure (Trend Bar Coloring) as our entry confirmation, and Liquidity Levels as our targets.
In this image we can see the same setup as before, higher timeframe FVG with Market Structure reversal targeting a Liquidity Level. In addition we can see the Trapped Market Participants feature showing trapped sellers at the low which provides additional confluence for our long position and offers a cleaner and safer entry on the pullback.
Our goal is to provide as many useful features as possible, automating the process to make it easier and quicker for us as traders. We want to spend less time charting and more time planning proper trades.
Liquidity Grab ReversalIndicator looks for liquidity grab & reversal trades on any timeframe. These types of trades reveal how the big institutions, banks and hedge funds trade with big money. If they want their very big positions to be filled they need to find areas in chart where the majority of the money is sitting. Where is it? Where is the majority of orders placed? Right below supports or right above resistances, these orders are stoplosses or stop orders. So they need to push the price to these areas, take all the available stoplosses and trigger all the available stop orders in order to fill their positions and then push the price to the opposite side to make profit (and retail to lose).
Indicator looks for support or resistance (S/R) areas which are represented by dotted lines. This S/R areas are created by minimum of 2 pivot high/low (H/L). Every pivot H/L that creates the S/R area is marked with diamond label. This S/R area is called liquidity. After liquidity is created, indicator looks for liquidity grab (mostly represented by fast spike to this area) and then price should go fast to the opposite side. This behaviour can be called reversal after liquidity grab. If we want to participate in the reversal we can put stop order at high of the candle that grabbed the support/liquidity if it is long liquidity grab or at low of the candle that grabbed the resistance/liquidity if it is short liquidity grab. These entry points are represented by solid lines. Stoplosses can be placed to the local maximum/minimum created after liquidity grab - so if entry is at high of the liquidity grab candle then stoploss can be put at low of the structure created after liquidity grab.
In settings of the indicator you can set whether only long or only short liquidity grabs are shown. Long liquidity grabs are green and short ones are red.
You can adjust core settings of the indicator:
Liquidity H/Ls Look Back/Forward Period: For PIVOT HIGH there has to be X (by default 1) candle/s lower to the left and X (by default 1) candle/s lower to the right and vice versa for PIVOT LOW,
Liquidity Grab by Close or High/Low.
Master Pattern ScreenerMaster Pattern Screener
This is an indicator based on the concept known as the Forex Master Pattern, which contains three phases. The contraction, expansion, and trend phases This indicator, based on your current timeframe, finds out if there is a contraction on 10 symbols that you can customize to suit your needs.
How does it work?
The indicator is a table, and it finds 10 different symbols on the current timeframe that you have selected. Then it does volume and volatility calculations to determine if a contraction is occurring, which is the first phase and probably the most important phase in the FOREX MASTER PATTERN .
This indicator is meant to be used in conjunction with our contraction plotter. We would have placed this indicator in the contraction and expansion plotter, but there were memory limitation issues, so we placed it in a separate indicator.
How traders can use this indicator
The contraction phase is extremely important because once a contraction is occurring, what always happens is an expansion. Some traders will avoid placing trades in the contraction phase, while others will enter to use the momentum for their trades. This indicator just makes it more convenient to identify the contraction phases.
Examples of the indicator:
Things you should know
The symbols can be customized to whatever you want. You can choose your own stocks, cryptocurrencies, currencies, etc.
Make sure that it's exactly the same; if you use, for example, BTCUSDT Coinbase but check on BTCUSDT Binance, then it may show inaccurate results.
Since this script involves a decent amount of calculations, it may not work properly in low timeframes, like anything less than a minute.
Smart Money Concepts Probability (Expo)█ Overview
The Smart Money Concept Probability (Expo) is an indicator developed to track the actions of institutional investors, commonly known as "smart money." This tool calculates the likelihood of smart money being actively engaged in buying or selling within the market, referred to as the "smart money order flow."
The indicator measures the probability of three key events: Change of Character ( CHoCH ), Shift in Market Structure ( SMS ), and Break of Structure ( BMS ). These probabilities are displayed as percentages alongside their respective levels, providing a straightforward and immediate understanding of the likelihood of smart money order flow.
Finally, the backtested results are shown in a table, which gives traders an understanding of the historical performance of the current order flow direction.
█ Calculations
The algorithm individually computes the likelihood of the events ( CHoCH , SMS , and BMS ). A positive score is assigned for events where the price successfully breaks through the level with the highest probability, and a negative score when the price fails to do so. By doing so, the algorithm determines the probability of each event occurring and calculates the total profitability derived from all the events.
█ Example
In this case, we have an 85% probability that the price will break above the upper range and make a new Break Of Structure and only a 16.36% probability that the price will break below the lower range and make a Change Of Character.
█ Settings
The Structure Period sets the pivot period to use when calculating the market structure.
The Structure Response sets how responsive the market structure should be. A low value returns a more responsive structure. A high value returns a less responsive structure.
█ How to use
This indicator is a perfect tool for anyone that wants to understand the probability of a Change of Character ( CHoCH ), Shift in Market Structure ( SMS ), and Break of Structure ( BMS )
The insights provided by this tool help traders gain an understanding of the smart money order flow direction, which can be used to determine the market trend.
█ Any Alert function call
An alert is sent when the price breaks the upper or lower range, and you can select what should be included in the alert. You can enable the following options:
Ticker ID
Timeframe
Probability percentage

HHLL and Liquidity LevelsHHLL AND Liquidity Levels
Description: This indicator shows hidden support and resistance levels and liquidity levels. The indicator allows traders to select source data from open/close or the high and low. The indicator also allows for appearance customization.
How can Higher highs and Lower lows and liquidity levels benefit traders?
HHLL refers to a series of higher highs and lower lows in an asset's price trend, which can indicate a potential reversal in the trend. Liquidity, on the other hand, refers to the ease with which an asset can be bought or sold without affecting its price. HHLL can help traders identify potential trends, while liquidity can ensure that trades can be executed smoothly and without significant price impact.
How can traders use this indicator?
Traders can use the indicator to identify potential market trends and market momentum. When the indicator show a series of higher highs and higher lows it can show a possible uptrend, meanwhile a series of lower lows and lower highs could show a possible uptrend with liquidity to confirm their trading decisions.
The script could also capture hidden support and resistance levels by showing areas where liquidity is concentrated and where price has repeatedly made higher highs and lower lows.
Features:
Support and Resistance levels based on Highs and Lows
Zig zags to show the HHLL's
Liquidity Levels
BOS and CHOCHS labels
Here are some examples of the indicator in action:
The HHLL and Liquidity Levels indicator being used with the Contraction and Expansion indicator to see when expansions are due and then price retest the liquidity levels.
Expansion IndexWhat is the expansion index?
The expansion index is a concept that charts the relative strength or weakness based on the comparison of recent price changes and overall prices changes for the period.
It can be used as an momentum oscillator and show overbought or oversold price conditions by measuring the relation between the sum of "strong" price changes (which can form trends).
The Expansion Index is most typically used on an 8 day timeframe. It changes on a scale from −100 to +100, with the overbought and oversold levels marked at +60 and −60, respectively.
What about this indicator?
This indicator basically shows the rate of expansion from zero, but also has other uses apart from finding over bought or over sold territory.
Scenarios:
Lets say you are identifying a contraction zone (low volume zone of candles), you can further confirm the contraction if the Index is at or near 0, in this case it might have more strength
and play out more accurately the contraction and expansion.
Once the Expansion begins and price expands from the 0 level you can determine if its overbought which would be around the 1.00 Level or Oversold which would be at around the -1.00 Levels, and a reversal can follow out.
With the rate of change line you can identify trends in market and when reversals will start.
This indicator is best used with contraction, expansion, and trend principles also known as the Forex Master Pattern, as it was for what this specific indicator was designed for.
Thanks to NNAMDERT for writing this indicator and giving full rights. :)
